Attabad Lake
Attabad Lake was formed in January 2010 when a massive landslide blocked the Hunza River, creating this stunning turquoise blue lake over 5 years. The lake stretches over 21 km and sits at 2,638 metres above sea level in the Gojal region of Upper Hunza. The eerily beautiful blue water contrasts with the barren rocky mountains, and the submerged remnants of old villages add a haunting beauty. Boat rides offer views of colourful rock formations and the KKH tunnels built to bypass the blocked road.
